[Adv Poll 2.03] Admin Loop

I've been struggling with this problem the whole day.

I can install Adv. Poll fine and everything works except the Admin panel. I can login with the default username and password but when I want to access "General Settings" or "Help" or do anything, it goes back to the login page .. and the loop goes on and on.

I tried installing both versions -- text file and db but I'm having the same problem with both.

It's so aggravating!

Sorry to hear you are having such problems. I installed the program back in March and never had a moment's trouble.

If you are sure you set the permissions correctly and sure you are using the username and password for a new installation, I can only suggest you provide a link and maybe we can figure out what's wrong. Perhaps it's just a path issue?

New install username: admin
New install password: poll

I took another quick look at my files, and I see where I did make a change to the base URL. I guess I forgot I had to do this to get it working.

For the textfile version, the base URL info is in the include/config.inc.php file:

It originally showed this:

$pollvars['base_url'] = "/~poll/pollphp/textfile";
$pollvars['base_gif'] = "/~poll/pollphp/textfile/image";

Because I have it in a directory called "Poll" I changed it to:

$pollvars['base_url'] = "/poll/textfile";
$pollvars['base_gif'] = "/poll/textfile/image";

If you put everything in "Poll" directory or changed the "textfile" directory to another name, you would change that.

Don't know if this will solve the problem you are having, but take a look at it.

I'm not sure about the db version.

Okaaaay ..

Now that is freaky.

I didn't change anything or do anything and now it works.

The only thing I did was upload /db in the root directory as well and well, now I can login and edit anything just fine.

How weird!
